The Samlex DC-1000-KIT is a DC installation kit that connects an inverter to its battery bank. It contains two 10 ft AWG #4 flexible copper cables, one red and one black, with crimped ring lugs for 3/8 in studs, plus an MRBF-100 100 A marine rated battery fuse assembly and the hardware to secure the cable run.

Samlex sizes the kit by inverter power. It recommends the DC-1000-KIT for inverters of 600–800 W at 12 V, based on a 10 ft cable run with up to 3% voltage drop and DC current equal to the fuse rating. The cables are rated 600 V and −50 to 105 °C with an EPR jacket. The MRBF fuse mounts directly on the battery terminal, is ignition protected to SAE J1171 and is rated IP66.

Check that your inverter's DC terminals accept 3/8 in ring lugs before ordering. Samlex notes that some inverters need pin-type lugs, so the supplied lugs may need to be changed. Compare the DC-2000-KIT (200 A) if your inverter falls in a different size range.

Installation & Compatibility Guides

Check Both Connections and the Electrical Rating

The DC-1000-KIT connects an inverter to its battery with sized cables and a 100 A fuse. Check these six points before you buy.

Installation Kit, Separate Cables or a Different Size?

An installation kit supplies matched cables, a fuse and hardware for one inverter size, so you do not have to source each part separately. A larger inverter or a longer cable run needs heavier cable and a higher-rated fuse, so match the kit to your inverter rather than choosing by price alone.

Compare the DC-2000-KIT (200 A) if your inverter falls in a different size range.
